    Notes:

    (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.)

    Thomas may have been from Prudence Island. See notes below.

    His will mentions his wife Lydia, sons Thomas and Richmond, and daughters Mary Cruff, Elizabeth LeValley, and Sarah Sheldon (see Rhode Island Genealogical Register" Vol. 9 # 3, p. 237).

    Thomas Remmington of Prudence is listed at Coventry, RI, in the 1790 Federal Census (1 free white male age 16 and over; 2 free white males under age 16; 1 free white female; and 2 other free persons).

    He probably is also listed as Thomas Remmington in the 1800 census.

    His gravestone indicates that he was a veteran of the Revolutionary War. I have photographed his gravestone.

    This is one of the mystery Remingtons, as I don't know who his parents were. One theory is that he may be a son of Prudence, b.c.1706, daughter of Thomas. In the 1790 Federal Census, there is listed "Thomas Remington, of Prudence" at Coventry. My question is, does this mean Prudence Island, or Prudence, his mother? If it is the name of his mother, possibly it means he was illegitimate, the son of Prudence Remington and the grandson of Thomas Remington of Warwick. However, there remain the other possibilities that his mother was a widow named Prudence Remington, or, that he was from Prudence Island, where there were Remington families in the 1700s (possibly including the family of our ancestor, Joseph). I am leaning toward this latter explanation, that he was from Prudence Island.

    Could he have been the Thomas born 1732, s/o Jonathan & Lorana (Arnold) Remington?

    Could he have been a son of William Remington & Mary Manton, who lived on Prudence Island in the 1700s?

    Or, could he be the son of Matthew Remington & Rachel Estabrook, Thomas b 23 May 1736? I am tending toward this solution, especially since the Thomas born on that date had a sister Rachel who married William Allen in Portsmouth. Also, Matthew himself was possibly born in Portsmouth.

    Thomas married Lydia Collins Aft 14 Feb 1757, RI. Lydia (daughter of Thankful Collins and Lydia Burgess) was born 19 Jan 1735/36, Warwick, Kent Co., RI; died 30 Nov 1819, RI; was buried , Remington Family Cemetery, David Dr., Coventry, RI. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:
